The new Flightradar24 ADS-B receiver approximately 1.5 km from the Chernobyl nuclear plant

We were even more surprised when we received photos of the receiver’s intended location. Located approximately 1.5 kilometers from the nuclear plant, the receiver is now hosted on the roof of a large warehouse. The receiver is being hosted by a contractor working on the New Safe Confinement project.

This receiver is already helping increase coverage in the area and we’re looking forward to an increase in MLAT coverage in the area. We’re especially excited to have lower level MLAT coverage of the Antonov An-22, An-124, and An-225 based out of Gostomel Airport.
